The Town of Easthampton is a residential and manufacturing community located in Hampshire County, approximately 14 miles north of
Springfield and 96 miles west of Boston. The town, with roughly 13.6 square miles of land area is a broad, relatively level valley bordered
on the east by the steep slopes of Mount Tom. Easthampton's downtown maintains a New England village character which is an
architecturally attractive and historically significant feature of the community. The first settlers arrived in Easthampton around 1664, and the
town was incorporated in 1785. Easthampton was an agrarian village until the mid-1800's when manufacturing became a major force in the
local economy. Mills proliferated along the banks of the Manhan taking advantage of the water power. In 1861, the Nashawannuck
Company became the first U.S. manufacturer to successfully use vulcanized rubber in woven goods. Industrial expansion continued into
the 20th century, and by 1927 Easthampton had a dozen factories producing yarn, thread, buttons and elastic materials. Residents are
committed to promoting industry and a central downtown area. Many area towns have become bedroom communities and succumbed to
commercialstrip development; Easthampton is fighting to focus on the Easthampton center and industrial areas as the place for economic
development. Easthampton today has twenty manufacturing firms which create 46% of the jobs in Easthampton. Several firms have
headquarters or major plants in Easthampton, including Stanhome, Inc., the National Felt Company, Kellogg Brush Manufacturing Company
and Tubed Products, Inc. Easthampton's location gives the town favorable access to prime transportation routes. Two highway corridors,
Routes 10 and 141, serve the town. Route 10 runs north-south and provides direct access to east connecting it with I-91 and the
Massachusetts Turnpike. Easthampton offers numerous opportunities for education and recreation. Nonotuck Park is a beautiful regional
recreation area containing 190 acres for active and passive activities. The Massachusetts Audubon Society manages the Arcadia Wildlife
Sanctuary which provides educational programs for adults and children. The Manhan River flows past the center of the town eventually
reaching the Connecticut River, and there is fishing on Nashawannuck Pond. Easthampton is also home to the Williston Northampton
School, a private secondary college prep school which recently received a blue ribbon educational award, ranking it one of the top private
schools inthe country.
Western Massachusetts, bordered by Hadley on the northeast, Holyoke on the south
and east, Northampton on the north, and Southampton and Westhampton on the west.
Easthampton is 14 miles north of Springfield, 96 miles west of Boston, and 148
miles from New York City.
